Author's Notes: This won't be your average "Tails gets betrayed" fanfic. Oh no, this will be a rather disturbing story so, it is rated M for character death, blood and gore plus some mild swearing ("F" word will be censored). I own nothing but possible OCs.
Tails the Betrayed
Miles "Tails" Prower, a two-tailed fox with the ability to fly due to said tails. What if their was side of him NONE of the Freedom Fighters knew about? What if they found out the day they stormed Robotnik's fortress? What if...they only saw the monster?
Prologue: Death of Robotnik
Robotropolis; Southern Wall of Robotnik's Fortress...
"Is everybody ready?" asked Sally to the Freedom Fighters behind her.
"You bet Sal!" said Sonic giving her a thumbs up.
"Too bad Tails couldn't come along." said Rotor as he set explosives to blow open the wall.
Everybody agrees on that and some wonder why the two-tailed fox didn't come with but quickly drop the topic as Rotor tells them to stand clear as he activates the explosives.
*EXPLOSION*
The group then enters the Fortress and instead of encountering a massive horde of SWAT bots, they see the robotic version of a blood bath. Robotic pieces are strewn everywhere, oil covers the walls and Snively is in a fetal position before he sees them and runs up to them, fear clearly evident in his eyes.
"The Freedom Fighters! Please, you have to help me! Uncle Julian is in trouble!" said Snively running up to them.
"And how do we know we can trust you, banana beak?" said Sonic crossing his arms.
"It's Mr. Banana Beak to you hedgehog! And this isn't a trick...for once! Julian is in REAL DANGER!" snapped Snively.
"Can we trust him?" said Rotor.
"Knuckles, watch him." said Sally and a red Echidna with spikes gloves walks forward and cracks his knuckles along with his neck.
"With pleasure." said Knuckles smirking.
Snively gulps.
"Okay, let's go 'save' Buttnik!" said Sonic zooming forward.
Control Room...
A blood-orange two-tailed 14-year-old fox was sitting on the dead body of Robotnik, his throat ripped out.
"I enjoyed the times we fought Robotnik, but I guess the good times had to end sometime right?" said the fox, his eyes and the gem on his chest a bright red. He smirked as he began carving his name into Robotnik's chest with the rusty bloody knife he had in his hand before a proximity alert went off and he panicked.
"Shit! Sonic and the others are coming! They can't see me like this!" said the fox as he looked for a way out but...
*EXPLOSION*
...fate had other plans as the door to the room was blown open and all of the Freedom Fighters were standing in the doorway and their faces showed shock. Snively's head then popped into view and his eyes went wide as he saw his dead uncle, his throat brutally ripped out.
"Uncle Julian!" cried Snively before he and Antoine fainted.
Everyone then turned their attention to the two-tailed fox in the room as he stood their in shock, his eyes blue but his gem orange. The fox's fur was blood-orange, his gloves a bloody-white, along with his orange sneakers mixed with blood. The fox began backing up as he dropped the knife. Sonic then ran up to the fox and grabbed him by the fur around his collar and pulled him close.
"What have you done?!" growled Sonic.
"What does it look like?! I killed Robotnik!" snapped the fox before his gem went blue.
"What for?!"
"Gee, if he went to prison he would just escape and cause this whole mess all over again!"
"So murdering him was the only way?!"
"Better than what you guys had planned! Execution by firing squad? He'd escape before you'd even get the squad ready! And what are you guys even doing here? You weren't suppose to be here for another hour!"
"What's that supposed to mean?!"
"Sonic, hold it. Look around." said Sally looking at the phrases written in blood on the walls.
Here's what they said: "Tails Doll was here."
"Do you fear me?"
"Can you feel the sunshine?"
"Are you afraid yet?"
"Tails Doll is coming."
The group then looks at Robotnik's corpse and see the words "Tails Doll" carved into his chest.
"Who are you?" said Sonic glaring at the fox.
"Like I'll tell you anything Sonic." said the fox sticking out his tongue.
"Hold it." said Sally getting out a syringe and stabbing it into the fox's arm and drawing a small sample of blood and putting it into the scanner of NICOLE.
"NICOLE, see if you can match up this DNA."
"Scanning Sally..." said the handheld and the fox's gem went white.
"Match found Sally."
In the next five seconds, everything hit the fan. Upon seeing whose DNA the fox's matched, Sally dropped the handheld and gasped, her eyes wide in shock and Sonic grabbed the handheld and looked at the results and he gaped and then looked at the fox who was now crying.
"T-Tails?" said Sonic too stunned at what was just revealed.
"I wasn't supposed to be caught Sonic. I was just supposed to come in, kill Robotnik, carve the name 'Tails Doll' into his chest and leave before you guys came." said Tails as he fell to his knees.
"W-why?"
"Why what?! Kill Robotnik and end this stupid war?! Think about it! We've been at war with the fathead since I was four! Can you imagine ten years of misery?! Constantly on the lookout for SWAT bots, Badniks and whatever else Robotnik threw at us! Sure I had to sabotage some of our stuff to make 'Tails Doll' look like a two-way enemy, but this whole night was supposed to be worth it!"
"Wait. Tails Doll? You mean that spy of Robotnik's that looks somewhat like you?" said Rotor confused.
"Ha hah ha. You don't get it do you?! Tails Doll never existed! I made up the stupid doll name's just to throw you guys off my trail! If I was found before now, everything I worked for would be for lost!"
"B-But your fur, it's supposed to be yellow." said Bunnie.
"No it isn't. My fur color is really blood-orange I would just dye it yellow."
"But what's with the gem around your neck?"
"I don't know about that one. But this whole night is ruined! I wasn't supposed to be found out! I never was! But since I killed the enemy, nothing can be done about it." said Tails smirking.
"Oh really?" said Sally, "St. John, Antoine!"
Antoine shot up and saluted as a skunk stood beside him and followed suite.
"Arrest Miles 'Tails' Prower on accounts of treason and false information." said Sally pointing at Tails.
"WHAT?!" said Tails, his gem going yellow-orange, "You can't do this! I f**ing killed Robotnik for you! You should be grateful!"
"How can we be grateful when we don't even know you?" said Sally looking away as St. John and Antoine put cuffs on Tails' hands and tails.
"You can't do this! I saved you guys the trouble of killing him yourselves! Let me go stinkbomb!" said Tails struggling against his captors.
"You can't do this to me! I saved millions of lives! I'm not a traitor!"
As Tails was dragged away Sally burst out crying and Sonic hugged her to comfort her.
Next Day; Tails' Prison Cell...
Tails was carving lines in the rock wall next to him with the knife from last night, his eyes dulled a bit as his gem was blue and the dried up river of tears showing on his face.
"You have a visitor freak." said the guard opening the cell and in walked Bunnie.
Tails rammed the knife into the rock wall and sat up as Bunnie sat across from him.
"So, what are-"
*CRACK!*
Tails curled over as Bunnie hit him in the stomach with her robotic arm...
*SLAP!*
...and then slapped him across the face with it too. He looked up with hurt, betrayal, and regret in his blue eyes yet Bunnie ignored it.
"Ah can't believe Ah ever saw ya as a son Tails. Ya ain't the two-tailed fox Ah grew to love." said Bunnie before she stormed out of the cell crying.
Tails got up and pulled the knife out and starting digging into the wall again.
'Sonic tried to Spin Dash me, Rotor tried to shoot me, Knuckles nearly broke my ribs, Sally slapped me, Antoine punched me...harder than I thought he could, Dulcy...she tail-slapped me...I think that's everyone...well, time to escape.' thought Tails before he kicked the wall down and ran out of the room and disappeared into the night.
Cliffside; 20 Minutes Later...
The wind howled as lightning flashed and thunder crashed overhead. Tails tied his two tails together and walked towards the cliff before he turned around and saw Sonic standing there.
"Why Tails? Why?" said Sonic still in disbelief.
"I already told you why; to get rid of Robotnik. But now, everyone's betrayed me." said Tails as he backed up towards the cliff.
"Betrayed you?! No! You betrayed US!"
"Whichever way you see it, it no longer matters. Goodbye Sonic." said Tails leaning back, arms crossed over his chest.
"What do you-Tails! NO!" said Sonic rushing forward and reached for Tails' hand but missed as the two-tailed fox plummeted towards the water below and hit the surface of the water...hard. Even from 50 feet in the air, Sonic could see the blood rise to the water's surface and he clenched his fists before he slammed them into ground.
"Why?!" whispered Sonic in anger.
3 Months Later; Unexplored Island...
Footprints, along with drag marks were seen on a sandy beach as a two-tailed fox tiredly walked towards the forest region and collapsed in a hut that was part of a large underground research facility.
The sign outside the hut read: "Property of Miles 'Tails Prower"
Tails dragged himself up to the medical table and began stitching up his wounds until they were all fixed up and then he looked at the mirror and smiled, his sharp teeth showing.
"Time to have some fun." said Tails as he walked deeper into his hidden lab.
END CHAPTER
I know what you're thinking, "This doesn't make any sense", well just wait and see. If you're wondering what I did, I combined Tails and Tails Doll yet made it so Tails Doll was just a made up person that Tails used as cover so his plan to kill Robotnik would work, but as you can see it didn't quite go as planned.
Don't worry, I plan to have a new enemy come in to replace Robotnik. Might be Tails himself or someone entirely different.
Note: Expect Tails to become a bounty hunter and trust me...*shudders*...the ideas aren't pretty with his personality this time around.
